Johnson & Johnson says it made a $1 billion deal with the U.S. government to create enough manufacturing capacity for more than one billion doses of a vaccine it’s testing to fight coronavirus

Johnson and Johnson said that it had selected its own lead vaccine candidate and would start human testing of its experimental coronavirus vaccine by September, with an eye on having it ready for emergency use in early 2021, the drugmaker said on Monday. J&J also committed more than $1 billion of investment along with U.S. agency Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority to co-fund vaccine research, expanding a previous collaboration.

A patient was dosed with Moderna Inc’s vaccine in an early-stage trial earlier this month, making it the front-runner in the race to develop a viable vaccine.

The same company that played out a pretend pandemic in October Event201

Hmmm...and what happens if another company comes up with a vaccine that’s tested and approved, faster and cheaper?

Just get the job done.

So... At a buck a dose it shouldn't cost a person more than, what, $1.30 to $1.50? Watch and learn. They will get paid to cook up the vaccine, it will cost way more than $1 per dose (their cost) and we will be forced to take it.

Cool

Awesome the same company that made powder that gave people cancer 🙄

We predicted for 2020: 'We see more efforts in the future to control epidemics and contagious diseases. New vaccines will be developed. We see more super drugs being developed to fight growing pandemics and viruses...' coronavirus 2020Predictions vaccines video

What if other countries develop it first? Will they take the financial hit or make us wait?

Let CEO Gorsky try it first with the Johnson & Johnson family before out families die of it like the Talc baby powder and hernia mesh recall

no thanks

So we can all find out in ten years that we have cancer from it? Nope

Insider trading check for Trump’s family and friends is a must.

China better pay off half, if they find the cure 1st.

Vaccine will not enter my body.

Oh yay! The company that profited off of the opioid crisis, causes cancer, has asbestos, and overcharges vaccines that were first created with tax payer money in the first place, is going to find a vaccine for covid.

Here comes the manufactured solution y’all.

Why should we trust a company that wouldn’t even admit that it’s baby powder was harmful

Ummmm.... is this code? It makes no sense.

Dear J&J, Make it free to the public, all 328,239,523 of us, and it might improve your reputation with our nation. Sincerely, The USA

So they get 1$ billion dollars for something they haven’t even made yet?. Especially from the people who carelessly let asbestos get in their baby powder. Is anyone else outraged? The goverment is paying companies to produce something they aren’t sure even works yet. Shady

A $1 billion price tag,yet it won't be tested til September and won't be available til 2021 WHO TAF will they give it to by then?

somebody must profit

1. Research Johnson & Johnson (lawsuits) 2. Follow the money

The same Johnson & Johnson that was knowingly poisoning babies? Good luck with that...

Follow the money...😙

Great News! Wonder how many of us will be left by then?

Oh okay, then. The Johnson&Johnson™ that brings us ovarian cancer disguised as baby powder is going to give us a vaccine. Fanfuckingtastic.

Each of which will be billed to an insurance company at $500 per dose when administered. War time profiteering on the horizon.

I don't understand how a contract/PO can be awarded based upon THIS level of developmental immaturity. Nevermind: Corruption

Everything is fixed!

The bottom line is always 💵💵💵 TrumpPandemic

bukan pertaruhan .bukan permainan .jika tidak di ubah dengan pendirian pasti ramai akan kecewa

If the vaccine virus dead I’ll take it!

Printing new 1 billion bills...

Don't hold your breath. I have been waiting on an effective vaccine for HIV for over 35 years. I waited 10 years for drugs and they had their own issues. Coronavirustruth

I immediately think of selfishness, why?

🖕🏻 keep it
